Safety data will be an important part of the post-implementation review of these regulations, which is due before the end of five years from when the regulations come into force. Any change in either the rate or severity of collisions involving these vehicles will be monitored to determine whether these regulations have had an impact on road safety. Again, I am happy to write to the noble Lord, Lord Pack, to give further information and detail around the data to make sure that he is kept up to speed with the information that we are gathering. The class 7 MoT test provides a high level of assurance of vehicle safety and roadworthiness. All vehicle operators are under an obligation to keep vehicles roadworthy at all times.
